Missionary Work In Alasks.

'.The Greek church seems exactly to
meet the needs Of the Innui,s or Esqui-
maux," said Mr.. Eliot. but compare
lively little progress has been made toward
the conversion of the Indians. There has
been mission church at Sitka ever since
1903, but the experience of the Russian
missionaries was not very different from
that of our own. The Indians become
very pious and are eager TO join the
church, if they get enough tobacco and
red cloth; but when once the distribution
has been made their zeal cools off. and it
takes an equal amount Of tobacco and red
cloth TO arouse their interest again the
next year. / think that the net result Of
eighty years of missionary work among
the Indians of Sitka is that they are
little more degraded than they were at
the beginning of the century, and this
through no fault Of the missionaries.
What mean TO say is that contact with
degraded white men has little more
than offset the elevating effects of the
teaching and example of the missionaries.

SURE DEATH ON RATS.

How . Woman Solved n Nexatious Prob
lem in Domestic Life.
Mrs Benedict's business is that of a
ratcatcher a new profession now fairly
opened to women, and one which Mrs.
Benedict at least has made lucrative.
The business of rat determination is not
strictly new, and yet Mrs. Benedict is
fairly entitled TO rank as its inventor, at
least in an important sense. She has
raised it To the dignity of a profession.
The problem has been how to kill the rats
without bringing unpleasant odors into
the house.
Mr. Benedict has found out how to
induce rats TO die ON the kitchen floor.
Like many inventors, she is somewhat in
debted to accident. She was engaged, it
appears, in the domestic manufacture of
plaster casts Of various kinds. One of her
devices was To mix wheaton flour with her
pulveriZed plaster of Paris, so that the
gluten of the flour might make the paste
less brittle. One evening she had visitors
who rang the bell just as she was sitting
the mixed plaster and flour for the third
time by way Of mixing them intimately,
as the chemist says. She had already set
a dish of water at hand. intending TO make
an experimental cast at once, and when
the door bell rang she hastily removed her
apron and went To welcome her guests,
leaving her materials upon the kitchen.
Her guests stayed until bedtime, and
when they babe her adieu, Mrs. Benellict
went 10 bed without returning TO the kit
chen.
What happened in the night was this:
A rat made his way up the legs of the
table to the top, where he was speedily
joined by Others. The dish of flour and
plaster was easily reached. and the rats
ate freely and hastily Of it, as it is their
custom to do. IL was a rather dry sup
per, and water being near, each rat
turned to drink. The water drunk first
wet the plaster in the rats stomachs. and
then, in technichal phrase, ''set" it; that
is to say, the plaster thus made into
paste, instantly grew hard in each rats
stomach and put an end TO any exercise
Of that organ. The rats decided Mr..
Mallock's question: is life worth liv-
ing," in the negative without quitting
the table. The next morning thirteen of
them lay dead in a circle around the
water dish. Mrs. Benedict, when she
entered the kitchen for the purpose VI
making her fire, saw them and acted.
that is to say, she screamed and climbed
upon a chair. From that position she
studied the scene, and very soon saw the
cause. Like wise woman, she kept her
secret and made profit Of it. She under
took, for IA consideration, TO clear the
premises of her neighbors of the pests.

the town was as free of this sort OF YER

We unconsciously, in our devotions, use
the unsurpassed passages of the Litany

city amounts TO over SO, ,O0J, 900, and 5000
workmen are employed in the various insti-
tutions.
House rents are high in Omaha, and a
house that will cost you So month in smaller
western cities here costs from $50 to $50 a
month, while good houses in respectable
locality within six or eight blocks of the post
office rent from 500 to $50 per month. Board
ing house keepers offer $50 a month for
houses right along, and good furnished rooms
on st Mary's aveiNe will bring SO month.
Rents will, however, be lower when the new
bridge to Council Bluffs is completed, and that
town will then be the Brooklyn OF Omaha.
These big western cities bank a great deal

pears to be true. The Union Pacific has
always been OInaha's friend, and it has

An Odd Custom In Athens.

A traveller meets with many customs in
strange countries, which commend them
selves by their uniqueness, but one in Athens
gives to modern Greece n reputation she
never enjoyed in her palmiest days. The
Greeks are notorious for their unrelability,
and they break promises with perfect disre
gard, knowing how easy it is to make an
other. Livery stable keepers are no worse
tLan other classes but in this instance we
have TO do with them While in Athens we
were anxious to take a drive and to be sure
Of a carriage at the appointed time we went
the evening before 10 headquarters and left
our order, at the sane time impressing the
proprietor with the Importance Of prompt
ness The next morning We were ready at
the hour, but no carriage had arrived. We
waited an hour and still no carriage, and
then we appealed to friend, who had lived
o long time in Athens, telling him how We
had left our order the night before. He
asked If We had demanded forfeit of the
proprietor, and with much surprise we told
him we had not He then informed us that
II WAS customary when ordering carriage,
70 insure the order being met. to require a
forfeit of from 81 to q from the owner, as a
reminder to him that he had contract to
fulfill. 1t was n method Of business SO entirely
new to us that we could scarcely believe It
possible, but we concluded to try it, and went
off on second hunt for vehicle. This
time we demanded our forfeit and it was
given US without hesitation, and promptly at
the hour set the carriage was ready for us
and We took our drive. In paying for it the
forfeit was included in the bill, and the en-
tire transaction went off as il that were the
only proper way to do business, and We were
very unbusinesslike persons to have thought
otherwise 1t goes without saying that the
Greeks have much more confidence in
strangers than is common in other countries,
for all we gave for our forfeit was form Of
receipt, valuable only as a souvenir, in case
we desired to run away with the money.
